A parabola, a hyperbola, an ellipse and a circle are conic sections. Summarize how the image or graph of each conic section is formed using a cone and a plane that cuts through it without a drawing.

hey u need hlp?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i see why this question is complicated...give me a sec:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay haha

google it it is too long to type

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a parabola is a symmetrical open plane curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to its side. The path of a projectile under the influence of gravity ideally follows a curve of this shape

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did, I only got graphs...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur welcome..is that it? i thought there was more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is more but that was a really good start!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a hyperbole is a symmetrical open curve formed by the intersection of a circular cone with a plane at a smaller angle with its axis than the side of the cone.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an ellipse is a regular oval shape, traced by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points (the foci) is constant, or resulting when a cone is cut by an oblique plane that does not intersect the base.

Dang haha thanks a lot thats a lot of information.
